This is a discussion on Spin 'n go system [pokerstars vs 888] within the online poker forums, in the Poker Rooms section; Guys what do you think about those relatively new NL Holdem poker game types. Do you prefer 888 spin n go system with limited time

On 888 the complete lottery! When after 5 minutes everyone goes to Allin - you can lose all hands. So that pokerstras is better

Yes I agree I lost few times with much more chips then opponents, just because of the time limit .

But prize system is maybe better then pokerstars. And I know also depends if player very often finish on second, third place.. then greater rewards means some money for those positions also. On pokerstars I dont see very often reward for second player.

PS is better. I like PS spin'n'go more than 888Poker. (I don't like all-in).

I have only played in Pokerstars' site all my life. Can't say anything about 888, but I've heard that it's good aswell.

None. I think all spin's are lottery. You push and twist to get lucky.

I HATE 888poker's format of spin'n'go. This stupid rule of going all in after 2 or 5 minutes and whenever you get a multiplier higher than 2 you have to split the prize!
My number 1 is Party I think. PS comes close at second.

Much easier is take 1st place in ring of 3 than in ring of 4, so PS system is much better for me.

PS is more my spin and go game than 888poker. Ps you have more control on your game and with 888 it's just a lottery.

In generally I think spins is more luck perspective game than skill requiring. But talking about 888 and pokerstars spins , I would choose pokerstars. 888 time limit is bullshit.

Pokerstars with 3 players in my opinion is a more balanced version.

My experience with spin and gos have not fared well. I feel its a lot of luck and no skill, its why the success goes to mediocre players.

If anything I have no preference to either because I still lose.

Blast tournaments are a complete joke.
Spin n Gos are still based on luck but you still have your choice to play your hand or not.

Pokerrooms tend to introduce these kind of luck based games because people like to gamble & get lucky by winning more. Many people don't like to use their brains to win a considerable amount. So they get addicted to these types of games very quickly

I like Pokerstars blinds system but I win more often on 888poker because it has better reward system, so ... I'm not so sure who is my favorite room.

This style of play is dedicated to people who play as a hobby and who want to have some fun too. In addition, the variance is even greater.

blast of 888 are trash even more with 4 players, PS format is not bad but i don't like to play these games with small quantity of players because i need to be focus all time. anyway spin's at PS is not a lottery like many of people says (probably they are bad players) sure that you will find some suckout but skills are involved to win and have a positive ROI.

I think 888 should remove the blast and keep it like any spin&go.
It doesn't matter, if you play good or not at the beginning, because if you not finish the game before this stupid blast kicks in, then everything is possible and the game becomes a kind of all-in shootout. Therefore I would prefer spin&go from PS.
